You are cordially invited to attend the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, May 14, 2015.

The meeting will start at 11:30 a.m. local time at Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, 22 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054.

I appreciate your continued support of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and look forward to seeing you on May 14, 2015.

The matters specified for voting above are more fully described in the attached proxy statement. Only our shareholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 2015 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements for which no new record date is set.

Only shareholders, persons holding proxies from shareholders, invited representatives of the media and financial community and other guests of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation may attend the meeting.

If you received (or requested and received) a printed copy of the proxy materials you should bring the enclosed Admission Ticket to gain admission to the meeting. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice) or voting instructions and will not be requesting a printed copy of the proxy materials please bring the Notice or voting instructions with you as your Admission Ticket. All persons attending the meeting must bring photo identification such as a valid driver's license or passport for purposes of personal identification.

If your shares are held in the name of a broker, trust, bank or other nominee, you will also need to bring a proxy, letter or recent account statement from that broker, trust, bank or nominee that confirms that you are the beneficial owner of those shares.

March 19, 2015 is the record date for the meeting. This means that owners of Wyndham Worldwide common stock at the close of business on that date are entitled to:

Instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials, including our Annual Report, to all of our shareholders, we provide access to these materials in a fast and efficient manner via the Internet. This reduces the amount of paper necessary to produce these materials as well as the costs associated with mailing these materials to all shareholders. Accordingly, on or about April 2, 2015, we will begin mailing a Notice to all shareholders as of March 19, 2015, and will post our proxy materials on the website referenced in the Notice. As more fully described in the Notice, shareholders may choose to access our proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or may request to receive a printed set of our proxy materials. In addition, the Notice and website provide information regarding how you may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.

We have adopted a procedure approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission called householding. Under this procedure, shareholders of record who have the same address and last name and have not previously requested electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive a single envelope containing the Notices for all shareholders having that address. The Notice for each shareholder will include that shareholder's unique control number needed to vote his or her shares. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees.

If you do not wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive your Notice in a separate envelope, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions by calling their toll-free number at (800) 542-1061 or through Broadridge Financial Solutions, Attn.: Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

For those shareholders who have the same address and last name and who request to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail, we will send only one copy of such materials to each address unless one or more of those shareholders notifies us, in the same manner described above, that they wish to receive a printed copy for each shareholder at that address.

Beneficial shareholders may request information about householding from their banks, brokers or other holders of record.

Your vote is important. Please vote your proxy promptly so your shares are represented, even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You may vote by Internet, by telephone, by requesting a printed copy of the proxy materials and using the enclosed proxy card or in person at the annual meeting.

Our proxy tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, must receive any proxy that will not be delivered in person to the annual meeting by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Wednesday, May 13, 2015.

The enclosed proxy materials are provided to you at the request of the Board of Directors of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (Board) to encourage you to vote your shares at our 2015 annual meeting of shareholders. This proxy statement contains information on matters that will be presented at the meeting and is provided to assist you in voting your shares. References in this proxy statement to "we," "us," "our" and "Wyndham Worldwide" refer to Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and our consolidated subsidiaries.

Our Board made these materials available to you over the Internet or, upon your request, mailed you printed versions of these materials in connection with our 2015 annual meeting. We will mail a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice) to our shareholders beginning on or about April 2, 2015 and will post our proxy materials on our website referenced in the Notice on that same date. We are, on behalf of our Board, soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at our 2015 annual meeting of shareholders. We solicit proxies to give all shareholders of record an opportunity to vote on matters that will be presented at the annual meeting.

The annual meeting will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. local time at Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, 22 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054.

We are not aware of any other matters that will be brought before the shareholders for a vote at the annual meeting. If any other matters are properly presented for a vote the individuals named as proxies will have discretionary authority to the extent permitted by law to vote on such matters according to their best judgment.

All holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2015 (record date) are entitled to vote at the meeting. Each shareholder will have one vote for each share of our common stock held as of the close of business on the record date. As of the record date 120,269,432 shares of our common stock were outstanding. There is no cumulative voting and the holders of our common stock vote together as a single class.

The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the meeting, or 60,134,717 shares (also known as a quorum), must be present in person or by proxy at the meeting in order to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum at the meeting.

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee submits a proxy that states that the broker does not vote for some or all of the proposals because the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner on how to vote on the proposals and does not have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of instructions.

We urge you to vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the meeting so that we will know as soon as possible that a quorum has been achieved.

If you are a shareholder of record, also known as a registered shareholder, you may vote in one of the following ways:

If your shares are registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, follow the proxy instructions on the form you receive from the bank, broker or other nominee. You may also vote in person at the annual meeting (please see below under How do I attend the meeting?).

When you vote by proxy your shares will be voted according to your instructions. If you sign your proxy card, vote by Internet or by telephone but do not specify how you want your shares to be voted they will be voted as the Board recommends.

What if I am a participant in the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation Employee Savings Plan?

For participants in the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation Employee Savings Plan with shares of our common stock credited to their accounts, voting instructions for the trustees of the plan are also being solicited through this proxy statement. In accordance with the provisions of the plan the trustee will vote shares of our common stock in accordance with instructions received from the participants to whose accounts the shares are credited. If you do not instruct the plan trustee on how to vote the shares of our common stock credited to your account the trustee will vote those shares in proportion to the shares for which instructions are received.

In the election of Directors the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting is required. This means the Director nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected and abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. However, as further described under Election of Directors, under the Board's Corporate Governance Guidelines any nominee for Director who receives a greater number of votes withheld than votes for election is required to tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Corporate Governance Committee.

For the remaining proposals, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal will be required for approval. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against any of these proposals. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals.

If your shares are registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution and you do not give your broker or other nominee specific voting instructions for your shares, under rules of the New York Stock Exchange, your record holder has discretion to vote your shares on the ratification of auditor proposal but does not have discretion to vote your shares on the election of Director nominees or the advisory vote on executive compensation. Your broker, bank or other financial institution will not be permitted to vote on your behalf on the election of Director nominees or the advisory vote on executive compensation unless you provide specific instructions before the date of the annual meeting by completing and returning the voting instruction or proxy card or following the instructions provided to you to vote your shares by telephone or the Internet.

If you received (or requested and received) a printed copy of the proxy materials, you should bring the enclosed Admission Ticket to gain admission to the meeting. If you received a Notice or voting instructions and will not be requesting a printed copy of the proxy materials please bring the Notice or voting instructions with you as your Admission Ticket. You must bring with you a photo identification such as a valid driver's license or passport for purposes of personal identification.

You may change or revoke your proxy at any time prior to the voting at the meeting by submitting a later dated proxy, by entering new instructions by Internet or telephone, by giving timely written notice of such change or revocation to the Corporate Secretary or by attending the meeting and voting in person and requesting that your prior proxy not be used.

We retained D.F. King & Co, Inc. to advise and assist us in soliciting proxies at a cost of $9,000 plus reasonable expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by our Directors, officers and employees personally, by mail, telephone or other electronic means. We will pay all costs relating to the solicitation of proxies. We will also reimburse brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of our common stock.

Shareholders interested in presenting a proposal for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy relating to our 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders may do so by following the procedures prescribed in Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and our By-Laws. To be eligible for inclusion in next year's proxy statement, shareholder proposals must be received by the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than the close of business on December 4, 2015.

In general, any shareholder proposal to be considered at next year's annual meeting but not included in the proxy statement must be submitted in writing to and received by the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not earlier than January 15, 2016 and not later than February 14, 2016. However, if the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is not within 30 days before or after May 14, 2016 then a shareholder will be able to submit a proposal for consideration at the annual meeting not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made or such notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed whichever occurs first. Any notification to bring any proposal before an Annual Meeting of Shareholders must comply with the requirements of our By-Laws. A shareholder may obtain a copy of our By-Laws on our website or by writing to our Corporate Secretary.

Shareholders may also nominate directors for election at an annual meeting. To nominate a Director shareholders must comply with provisions of applicable law and our By-Laws. The Corporate Governance Committee will also consider shareholder recommendations for candidates to the Board sent to the Committee c/o the Corporate Secretary. See below under Director Nomination Process for information regarding nomination or recommendation of a Director.

Strong corporate governance is an integral part of our core values. Our Board is committed to having sound corporate governance principles and practices. Please visit our website at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com under the Investors/Corporate Governance page (which can be reached by clicking on the Investors link followed by the Corporate Governance link) for the Board's Corporate Governance Guidelines and Director Independence Criteria, the Board-approved charters for the Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees and related information. These guidelines and charters may be obtained by writing to our Corporate Secretary at Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, 22 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054.

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that along with the charters of the Board Committees, Director Independence Criteria and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors, provide the framework for our governance. The governance rules for companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange and those contained in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations are reflected in the guidelines. The Board reviews these principles and other aspects of governance periodically. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Investors/Corporate Governance page of our website at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com.

The Board adopted the Director Independence Criteria set out below for its evaluation of the materiality of Director relationships with us. The Director Independence Criteria contain independence standards that exceed the independence standards specified in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Director Independence Criteria are available on the Investors/Corporate Governance page of our website at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com.

A Director who satisfies all of the following criteria shall be presumed to be independent under our Director Independence Criteria:

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Director Independence Criteria provide for director independence standards that meet or exceed those of the New York Stock Exchange. These standards require the Board to affirmatively determine that each Director has no material relationship with Wyndham Worldwide other than as a Director.

In accordance with these standards and criteria the Board undertook its annual review of the independence of its Directors. During this review the Board considered whether there are any relationships or related party transactions between each Director, any member of his or her immediate family or other affiliated entities and us and our subsidiaries and affiliates. The purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions existed that were inconsistent with a determination that the Director is independent.

The Board follows a number of procedures to review related party transactions. We maintain a written policy governing related party transactions that requires Board approval of related party transactions exceeding $120,000. Each Board member answers a questionnaire designed to disclose conflicts and related party transactions. We also review our internal records for related party transactions. Based on a review of these standards and materials, none of our non-management Directors had or has any relationship with us other than as a Director.

As a result of its review the Board affirmatively determined that the following Directors are independent of us and our management as required by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and the Director Independence Criteria: Myra J. Biblowit, James E. Buckman, George Herrera, The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, Pauline D.E. Richards and Michael H. Wargotz. All members of the Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees are independent Directors as required by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards, SEC rules and the Director Independence Criteria.

The following describes our Board Committees and related matters. The composition of the Committees is provided immediately after.

All members of the Audit Committee are independent Directors under the Board's Director Independence Criteria and applicable regulatory and listing standards. The Board in its business judgment determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate, knowledgeable and qualified to review financial statements in accordance with applicable listing standards. The Board also determined that both Pauline D.E. Richards and Michael H. Wargotz are audit committee financial experts within the meaning of applicable SEC rules.

The Audit Committee Charter is available on the Investors/Corporate Governance page of our website at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for the external reporting process and the adequacy of Wyndham Worldwide's internal controls. Specific responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Board. The Charter is available on the Investors/Corporate Governance page of our website at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com.

The Audit Committee is comprised of three Directors, all of whom meet the standards of independence adopted by the New York Stock Exchange and the SEC. The Audit Committee appoints Wyndham Worldwide's independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee approves in advance all services to be performed by Wyndham Worldwide's independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with SEC rules subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services.

Management is responsible for Wyndham Worldwide's financial reporting process including our system of internal controls and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles, applicable laws and regulations. In addition, management is responsible for establishing, maintaining and assessing the effectiveness of Wyndham Worldwide's internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP, Wyndham Worldwide's independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for expressing an opinion on Wyndham Worldwide's consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of Wyndham Worldwide's internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed Wyndham Worldwide's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the audited consolidated financial statements of Wyndham Worldwide for the year ended December 31, 2014, with management and representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP. It is not the Audit Committee's duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures.

The Audit Committee also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP matters required to be discussed by applicable standards and rules of the PCAOB and the SEC. The Audit Committee also received from Deloitte & Touche LLP the written disclosures required by applicable standards and rules of the PCAOB and the SEC regarding Deloitte & Touche LLP's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

The Audit Committee also considered whether the permissible non-audit services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP to Wyndham Worldwide are compatible with Deloitte & Touche LLP maintaining its independence. The Audit Committee satisfied itself as to the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

Based on the Audit Committee's review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Wyndham Worldwide's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

For additional information regarding the Compensation Committee's processes and procedures see below under Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Compensation Committee Matters.

All members of the Compensation Committee are independent Directors under the Board's Director Independence Criteria and applicable regulatory and listing standards.

The Compensation Committee Report is provided below under Executive Compensation. The Compensation Committee Charter is available on the Investors/Corporate Governance page on our website at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com.

During 2014, Mr. Mulroney, Ms. Biblowit and Ms. Richards served on our Compensation Committee. There are no compensation committee interlocks between Wyndham Worldwide and other entities involving our executive officers and Directors that are required to be reported under SEC rules.

All members of the Corporate Governance Committee are independent Directors under the Board's Director Independence Criteria and applicable regulatory and listing standards.

The Corporate Governance Committee Charter is available on the Investors/Corporate Governance page on our website at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com.

The Executive Committee may exercise all of the authority of the Board when the Board is not in session, except that the Executive Committee does not have the authority to take any action which legally or under our internal governance policies may be taken only by the full Board.

Number of Meetings in 2014

The Board held four meetings during 2014. Each Director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which the Director served.

Directors fulfill their responsibilities not only by attending Board and committee meetings but also through communication with the Chairman and CEO, Lead Director and other members of management relative to matters of mutual interest and concern to Wyndham Worldwide.

The Board believes that Wyndham Worldwide's CEO is best situated to serve as Chairman because he is the Director most familiar with our business and industry and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. Independent Directors and management have different perspectives and roles in strategy development. Our independent Directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside our company and industry while the CEO brings company-specific experience and expertise. The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman and CEO promotes strategy development and execution and facilitates information flow between management and the Board all of which are essential to effective governance.

One of the key responsibilities of the Board is to review our strategic direction and hold management accountable for the execution of strategy once it is developed. The Board believes the combined role of Chairman and CEO, together with an independent Lead Director having the duties described below, is in the best interest of shareholders because it provides the appropriate balance between strategy review and independent oversight of management.

The Board selected James E. Buckman, an independent Director who serves as a member of the Executive Committee, to serve as the Board's Lead Director. The Lead Director serves as a key advisor to the Chairman and the Board; chairs executive sessions of the non-management Directors and provides feedback to the Chairman; chairs meetings of the Board in the absence of the Chairman; and reviews in advance and consults with the Chairman when necessary regarding the agendas for all Board and committee meetings.

The Board has an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in providing oversight with respect to management of our risks. The Board focuses on the most significant risks facing us and our general risk management strategy and seeks to ensure that risks undertaken by us are consistent with a level of risk that is appropriate for our company and aligned with the achievement of our business objectives and strategies.

The Board regularly reviews information regarding risks associated with our finances, credit and liquidity; our business, operations and strategy; legal, regulatory and compliance matters; and reputational exposure. The Audit Committee provides oversight on our programs for risk assessment and risk management, including with respect to financial accounting and reporting and compliance risks. The Compensation Committee provides oversight on our assessment and management of risks relating to our executive compensation. The Corporate Governance Committee provides oversight on our management of risks associated with the independence of the Board and potential conflicts of interest. While each committee is responsible for providing oversight with respect to the management of risks, the entire Board of Directors is regularly informed about our risks through committee reports and management presentations.

While the Board and the committees provide oversight with respect to our risk management, our CEO and other senior management are primarily responsible for day-to-day risk management analysis and mitigation and report to the full Board or the relevant committee regarding risk management. Our leadership structure, with Mr. Holmes serving as Chairman and CEO, also enhances the Board's effectiveness in risk oversight due to Mr. Holmes' extensive knowledge of our business and operations, facilitating the Board's oversight of key risks. We believe this division of responsibility and leadership structure is the most effective approach for addressing our risk management.

The Board meets regularly without any members of management present. The Lead Director chairs these sessions.

Shareholders and other parties interested in communicating directly with the Board, an individual non-management Director or the non-management Directors as a group may do so by writing our Corporate Secretary at Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, 22 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054. The Corporate Secretary will forward the correspondence only to the intended recipients. However, prior to forwarding any correspondence, the Corporate Secretary will review it and in his discretion will not forward correspondence deemed to be of a commercial nature or otherwise not appropriate for review by the Directors.

As provided in the Board's Corporate Governance Guidelines, Directors are expected to attend our annual meeting of shareholders absent exceptional cause. All of our Directors attended our 2014 annual meeting and are expected to attend the 2015 annual meeting.

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors with ethics guidelines specifically applicable to Directors. In addition, we adopted Business Principles applicable to all our associates, including our CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. We will disclose on our website any amendment to or waiver from a provision of our Business Principles or Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors as may be required and within the time period specified under applicable SEC and NYSE rules. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and our Business Principles are available on the Investors/Corporate Governance page of our website at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com. Copies of these documents may also be obtained free of charge by writing to our Corporate Secretary.

Role of Corporate Governance Committee. The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recommending the Director nominees for election to the Board. The Committee considers the appropriate balance of experience, skills and characteristics required of the Board when considering potential candidates to serve on the Board. Nominees for Director are selected on the basis of their depth and breadth of experience, skills, wisdom, integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of our business environment and willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties.

The Committee also focuses on issues of diversity, such as diversity of gender, race and national origin, education, professional experience and differences in viewpoints and skills. The Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, however, the Board and the Committee believe that it is essential that the Board members represent diverse viewpoints. In considering candidates for the Board, the Committee considers the entirety of each candidate's credentials in the context of these standards. For the nomination of continuing Directors for re-election, the Committee also considers the individual's contributions to the Board.

All of our Directors bring to our Board a wealth of executive leadership experience derived from their service as senior executives of large organizations as well as extensive board experience. Certain individual qualifications, experience and skills of our Directors that led the Board to conclude that each nominee or Director should serve as our Director are described below under Election of Directors.

Identification and Evaluation Process. The process for identifying and evaluating nominees to the Board is initiated by identifying a candidate who meets the criteria for selection as a nominee and has the specific qualities or skills being sought based on input from members of the Board and, if the Committee deems appropriate, a third-party search firm. These candidates will be evaluated by the Committee by reviewing the candidates' biographical information and qualifications and checking the candidates' references. Qualified nominees will be interviewed by at least one member of the Committee. Using the input from the interview and other information it obtains, the Committee evaluates whether the prospective candidate is qualified to serve as a Director and whether the Committee should recommend to the Board that the Board nominate the prospective candidate for election by the shareholders or to fill a vacancy on the Board.

Shareholder Recommendations of Nominees. The Committee will consider written recommendations from shareholders for nominees for Director. Recommendations should be submitted to the Corporate Governance Committee, c/o the Corporate Secretary, and include at least the following: name of the shareholder and evidence of the person's ownership of our common stock, number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership, name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a Director and the person's consent to be named as a Director if selected by the Corporate Governance Committee and nominated by the Board. To evaluate nominees for Directors recommended by shareholders, the Committee intends to use a substantially similar evaluation process as described above.

Shareholder Nominations and By-Law Procedures. Our By-Laws establish procedures pursuant to which a shareholder may nominate a person for election to the Board. Our By-Laws are posted on our website under Investors/Corporate Governance at www.WyndhamWorldwide.com. To nominate a person for election to the Board, a shareholder must set forth all information relating to the nominee that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors or is otherwise required in each case pursuant to Section 14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and related rules and regulations. Such notice must also contain information specified in the By-Laws regarding the Director nominee, information about the shareholder making the nomination, including name and address, number of shares owned and certain representations regarding such a nomination. We may require any proposed nominee to furnish information concerning his or her eligibility to serve as an independent Director or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder's understanding of the independence of the nominee. Such notice must be accompanied by the proposed nominee's consent to being named as a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected.

To nominate a person for election to the Board at our annual meeting of shareholders, written notice of a shareholder nomination must be delivered to our Corporate Secretary not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the prior year's annual meeting. However, if our annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the previous year's meeting, a shareholder's written notice will be timely if it is delivered by no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is made or the notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed, whichever occurs first. A shareholder may make nominations of persons for election to the Board at a special meeting if the shareholder delivers written notice to our Corporate Secretary not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date such special meeting was made or notice of such special meeting was mailed, whichever occurs first. At a special meeting of shareholders, only such business may be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting under our notice of meeting.

Non-management Directors receive compensation for Board service designed to compensate them for their Board responsibilities and align their interests with the interests of shareholders. A management Director receives no additional compensation for Board service.

In November 2013, the Corporate Governance Committee considered and recommended based on a review conducted by Aon Hewitt, our compensation consultant, that the Director compensation program for 2014 remain generally consistent with 2013. The following table describes 2014 annual retainer and committee chair and membership fees for non-management Directors. Our non-management Directors do not receive additional fees for attending Board or committee meetings. In addition to these fees, the 2014 compensation of each of our non-management Directors included a $75,000 annual equity grant of time-vested restricted stock units (RSUs) which vest over a four-year period.

	Cash-Based		Stock-Based		Total

Lead Director	$	132,500	$	132,500	$	265,000
Director	$	105,000	$	105,000	$	210,000
Audit Committee chair	$	22,500	$	22,500	$	45,000
Audit Committee member	$	12,500	$	12,500	$	25,000
Compensation Committee chair	$	17,500	$	17,500	$	35,000
Compensation Committee member	$	10,000	$	10,000	$	20,000
Corporate Governance Committee chair	$	15,000	$	15,000	$	30,000
Corporate Governance Committee member	$	8,750	$	8,750	$	17,500
Executive Committee member	$	10,000	$	10,000	$	20,000

In November 2014, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, the Board approved an increase in the value of the annual grant of time-vested RSUs from $75,000 to $100,000 for 2015.

The annual Director retainer and committee chair and membership fees are paid on a quarterly basis 50% in cash and 50% in Wyndham Worldwide stock. The number of shares of stock issued is based on our stock price on the quarterly determination date. Directors may elect to receive the stock-based portion of their fees in the form of common stock or deferred stock units (DSUs). Directors may also elect to defer any cash-based compensation or vested RSUs in the form of DSUs. A DSU entitles the Director to receive one share of common stock following the Director's retirement or termination of service from the Board for any reason and is credited with dividend equivalents during the deferral period. The Director may not sell or receive value from any DSU prior to termination of service.

We make available to each Director a term life insurance policy owned by us with a $1.1 million death benefit payable $1 million to us which benefit we will donate to a charitable beneficiary of the Director's choice and $100,000 paid directly to a personal beneficiary of the Director's choice. In the event we undergo a change-in-control or a Director retires we will pay the premiums for the policies for one year from the date of the change-in-control or retirement as applicable.

We provide for a three-for-one company match of a Director's qualifying charitable contributions up to a company contribution of $75,000 per year. Previously Directors were provided with a three-for-one company match up to $60,000 per year. This increase was approved by the Board in November 2014 upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee.

We maintain a policy to award our Directors annually 500,000 Wyndham Rewards Points. These Wyndham Rewards Points have an approximate value of $2,245 and may be redeemed for numerous rewards options including stays at Wyndham properties. Previously Directors received 400,000 Wyndham Rewards Points with an approximate value of $1,800. This increase was approved by the Board in November 2014 upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee.

At the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors consists of seven members, six of whom are non-management Directors and independent Directors under applicable listing standards and our corporate governance documents. The Board was previously divided into three classes. Prior to our 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, each of the three classes was elected to serve three-year terms which were staggered such that one-third of the Board membership, or as near to one-third as possible, was elected at each annual meeting. At our 2012 annual meeting, our shareholders approved amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to phase out the classification of the Board and to provide instead for the annual election of Directors commencing with those Directors up for election at our 2013 annual meeting. Directors previously elected to serve three-year terms will serve out the remainder of such terms before standing for re-election. At last year's meeting, four Directors were elected to a term expiring at this year's annual meeting. These four Directors as well as three Directors whose three-year terms will expire at this year's meeting have been nominated by the Board for re-election.

Accordingly, at this year's meeting, all seven Directors are to be elected for terms expiring at the 2016 annual meeting. The Corporate Governance Committee nominated Stephen P. Holmes, Myra J. Biblowit, James E. Buckman, George Herrera, The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, Pauline D.E. Richards and Michael H. Wargotz, each of whom is presently a Director. The seven nominees are listed below with brief biographies.

We do not know of any reason why any nominee would be unable to serve as a Director. If any nominee is unable to serve, the shares represented by all valid proxies will be voted for the election of such other person as the Board may nominate.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide for a plurality voting standard for the election of our Directors. Under a plurality voting standard the nominee for each Director position with the most votes is elected.

Under the Board's Corporate Governance Guidelines any nominee for Director in an uncontested election, such as this one where the number of nominees does not exceed the number of Directors to be elected, who receives a greater number of votes withheld from his or her election than votes for such election shall promptly tender his or her resignation following certification of the shareholder vote. The Corporate Governance Committee will promptly consider the tendered resignation and will recommend to the Board whether to accept the tendered resignation or to take some other action, such as rejecting the tendered resignation and addressing the apparent underlying causes of the withheld votes. In making this recommendation the Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant by its members.

The Board will act on the Committee's recommendation no later than at its first regularly scheduled meeting following certification of the shareholder vote but in any case no later than 120 days following the certification of the shareholder vote. In considering the Committee's recommendation, the Board will consider the factors considered by the Committee and such additional information and factors the Board believes to be relevant. We will promptly publicly disclose the Board's decision and process in a periodic or current report filed with the SEC. Any Director who tenders his or her resignation under this process will not participate in the Committee recommendation or Board consideration regarding whether or not to accept the tendered resignation. However, such Director shall remain active and engaged in all other committee and Board activities, deliberations and decisions during this Committee and Board process.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES

Total Compensation Strategy. We employ a Total Compensation Strategy designed to achieve the following objectives:

Strong Performance. In 2014 our management team produced strong financial and operational results:

2014 Compensation Actions. As discussed in more detail below, the compensation decisions and other actions applicable to our named executive officers for 2014 were as follows:

* For a full reconciliation of adjusted net income to GAAP net income and diluted adjusted earnings per share to GAAP diluted earnings per share, please see Appendix A attached to this proxy statement.

We employ a Total Compensation Strategy designed to achieve the following objectives:

Wyndham Worldwide Compensation Committee. The Committee is responsible for providing oversight on executive compensation policies and programs consistent with corporate objectives and shareholder interests. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Committee reviews the charter on an annual basis. The Committee's membership is determined by the Board and is composed entirely of independent Directors. The Committee Chair reports at our Board meetings on Committee actions and recommendations.

Executive Compensation Consultant. For 2014, Aon Hewitt was retained by the Committee as a third-party advisor to provide independent advice, research and evaluation related to executive compensation and was paid approximately $159,700 for its services during 2014. In this capacity, the Committee utilizes reports and analyses prepared by Aon Hewitt. Aon Hewitt was retained to provide the Committee with competitive market pay analyses including compensation measurement services, peer group proxy data studies and market trends.

Wyndham Worldwide has historically engaged affiliates of Aon Hewitt for insurance brokerage and actuarial services. In this capacity, management engaged Aon Risk Services, Inc., without Board involvement, to provide insurance brokerage and actuarial services to Wyndham Worldwide during 2014. We paid approximately $1,193,000 to Aon Risk Services, Inc. for these services during 2014, which amount was offset by commissions paid to Aon Risk Services, Inc. by insurance carriers for placing Wyndham Worldwide policies.

Aon Hewitt has in place policies and procedures designed to prevent conflicts of interest and safeguard the independence of its executive compensation consulting advice. These policies and procedures include segregation of executive compensation services in a separate business unit with performance results of that unit measured solely based on the executive compensation services, clearly defined engagements with compensation committees separate from any other services provided, management of multiservice client relationships by separate account executives, no incentives provided for cross-selling of services and no more favorable terms offered to companies due to the retention of Aon Risk Services, Inc. for additional services. The Committee reviewed the independence of Aon Hewitt in accordance with NYSE requirements and considered this relationship. Based on its review, the Committee concluded that no conflict of interest was raised by the services provided by Aon Risk Services, Inc. and determined that the executive compensation advice received from Aon Hewitt is objective and independent.

Management's Role. Our management plays a significant role in our executive compensation process including evaluating executive performance and recommending base salary merit increases, performance factors for annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation for the named executive officers other than our CEO. Our CEO works with the Committee to establish the agenda for Committee meetings and management prepares and distributes meeting information to Committee members. Our CEO also participates in Committee meetings at the Committee's request to provide background information regarding our strategic objectives, his evaluation of the performance of the senior executives and compensation recommendations for senior executives other than himself. Our CEO is not involved in setting his own compensation, which is the exclusive responsibility of the Committee.

Compensation Committee Discretion. For 2014, while the Committee reviewed management's recommendations, the Committee retained discretion over all elements and levels of the named executive officers' compensation. For 2014, the Committee generally based its decisions on a combination of management's recommendations other than for our CEO and the external market data provided by our management and compensation consultant.

Committee Consideration of Say-on-Pay Vote. We currently hold an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (Say-on-Pay Vote) on an annual basis in accordance with the preference expressed by our shareholders at our 2011 annual meeting regarding the frequency of the Say-on-Pay Vote. At our 2014 Annual Meeting, more than 86% of the shares voted on our Say-on-Pay Vote were cast in support of the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the 2014 proxy statement. The Committee reviewed the outcome of the 2014 advisory vote and believes that the level of support affirms our current executive compensation structure and program. Accordingly, no changes have been made to our executive compensation program as a result of last year's Say-on-Pay Vote. In the future the Committee will continue to review our executive compensation program taking into consideration the outcome of our Say-on-Pay Votes and other relevant factors in making compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Annual Evaluation and Compensation Risk Assessment. An important aspect of the Committee's work relates to the annual determination of compensation for our named executive officers. The Committee meets each year to review the performance of the named executive officers and review, consider and approve any potential increases in base salaries, annual incentive compensation, grants of long-term incentive compensation and perquisites.

As part of its annual review, the Committee reviews the potential for any material risks arising from or relating to our compensation programs. Based on this review, the Committee believes that our compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk-taking by our executives or employees and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Wyndham Worldwide. In reaching its conclusion, the Committee considered the following aspects of our compensation programs believed to encourage the management of our business in a prudent manner:

We entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers the terms of which form the basis of our named executive officers' compensation elements and levels. The compensation elements provided under the agreements are reviewed annually by management, our compensation consultant and the Committee against the peer group described below under Compensation Review and Benchmarking.

In March 2014, Mr. Ballotti, who then served as CEO of Wyndham Exchange and Rentals, was appointed to succeed Mr. Danziger as the CEO of Wyndham Hotel Group. The employment agreement of Mr. Ballotti was amended in March 2014 to reflect his new title and to extend the term of his employment until March 2017. Mr. Danziger's employment with Wyndham Worldwide ceased in March 2014. His severance was consistent with the terms of his employment agreement. In 2014, the employment agreement of Mr. Hanning was amended to increase his target annual incentive opportunity and extend the term of his employment for a period of three years until August 2017.

The terms of the employment agreements are described below under Agreements with Named Executive Officers.

Management and the Committee believe that information regarding compensation practices at other companies is useful in evaluating the compensation of our named executive officers. Management and the Committee recognize that our compensation practices must be competitive in the market to attract and retain superior senior managers. In addition, this market information is a factor that management and the Committee consider in assessing the reasonableness of the compensation of our executives.

The Committee utilized the peer group of companies listed below, as previously recommended by our compensation consultant and approved by the Committee, based on one or more of the following criteria: companies or divisions within companies in generally the same industry or business as Wyndham Worldwide; companies that were similar in size to Wyndham Worldwide in terms of revenues and market value; companies used by analysts to compare Wyndham Worldwide's financial performance; organizations with a global presence; organizations with which we compete for executive talent; and organizations in similar markets or with a similar business model such as non-hospitality companies that have franchise and brand portfolio operations.

Our peer group for 2014 executive compensation benchmarking consisted of the following companies:

In February 2014, our compensation consultant conducted a competitive review of the compensation elements and levels of our named executive officers using this peer group. As part of this review, our compensation consultant prepared and management provided the Committee with total compensation summaries and tally sheets for the named executive officers together with related peer group data. The objectives of the compensation review were to compare for consistency the compensation of our executives to that of similarly-situated executives and ensure that our compensation practices and elements are consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy.

Our compensation consultant's review of peer group compensation included the following compensation elements using the most recently filed proxy statements for each peer company: base salary, annual incentive compensation, time-based long-term incentive compensation, total cash

compensation and total compensation. Compensation levels were obtained for the peer group median, average, 25^th and 75^th percentiles for each compensation element at target level performance (excluding for this purpose premium levels of performance under our annual and long-term incentive compensation programs) to provide an understanding of our compensation practices against competitive pay practices.

Using this competitive review and consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy, we broadly target total compensation (consisting of base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation) to be consistent with the market median but may approach the 75^th percentile of the peer group. However, the Committee does not view this benchmark as a rigid standard. While the Committee conducts this review, it views benchmarking simply as one factor in making compensation decisions for our named executive officers as it does not account for factors such as past performance, future potential, recruiting and retention needs, succession planning, experience or scope of responsibility. As a result, our named executive officers' target compensation opportunities as well as actual total compensation may be above or below targeted levels based on these factors. The Committee's review of peer group data in 2014 confirmed that actual total compensation paid to our named executive officers was at or below the 75^th percentile based on strong operating performance and consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy benchmark.

On an annual basis our compensation consultant also reviews the general framework and elements of our executive compensation program. Based on this review, our consultant advised management and the Committee that the elements of compensation that we provide our named executive officers are consistent with the compensation elements provided by our peer group companies. As part of this review, our compensation consultant prepared tally sheets for each named executive officer. In addition to reviewing market data, the Committee reviews these tally sheets which identify the value of each compensation element, including base salary, annual incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation, benefits and the value of severance and change-in-control payments under various termination and change-in-control scenarios.

Reviewing the tally sheets helps the Committee to balance the various compensation elements so that no single element is too heavily weighted and there is an appropriate mix between fixed and variable compensation and short-term and long-term compensation to ensure alignment with our Total Compensation Strategy. As each compensation element has different objectives as discussed below, Committee review and determinations with respect to one element generally do not influence decisions regarding the other elements to the extent total compensation is consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy. Further given the significant scope and responsibilities of our CEO, which are greater than those of our other named executive officers, the Committee believes any differences between the individual compensation elements and the total compensation of our CEO and the other named executive officers are appropriate.

Consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy, we provide base salaries designed to attract and retain our named executive officers and provide them with a base level of income. For 2014 base salary merit increases, management provided the Committee with a market assessment of annual salary increases utilizing external market data from World at Work, Aon Hewitt, Towers Watson and Mercer annual salary increase surveys. We based the 2014 merit increases on this market analysis and a review of the 2013 individual performance of the named executive officers. To review the individual performance of our named executive officers, senior management (or in the case of our CEO, the Committee) reviews the executives' individual contributions and personal leadership together with their performance on corporate or business unit strategic objectives including business development, business drivers and cost reduction initiatives.

In February 2014, the Committee approved 2014 base salary merit increases for each of our named executive officers that were effective February 23, 2014 based on their performance evaluations and maintaining market competitiveness. For 2014, we paid our named executive officers the base salaries listed in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy, we provide cash-based annual incentive compensation designed to create incentives for the named executive officers to drive our short-term financial and operating performance and thus create value for our shareholders.

In February 2014, management recommended and the Committee approved a combination of factors to determine potential 2014 annual incentive compensation for our named executive officers including actual total company (corporate) and/or business unit Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT), as adjusted, a standard measure of our profitability, as measured against target EBIT established at the beginning of the plan year, and a target award opportunity generally expressed as a percentage of the executive's base salary. An executive's annual incentive compensation may be higher or lower than target annual incentive compensation depending on corporate and/or business unit performance. The maximum annual incentive award opportunity for our named executive officers under the annual incentive compensation program is 150% of the target award opportunity.

The EBIT targets set for the corporation and its business units are recommended by management subject to approval by the Committee and are based on operating budgets that reflect our strategic plan. EBIT may be adjusted to reflect potential unusual or extraordinary events and items such as restructuring costs and impairments specified at the outset of the performance period. Consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy, we believe that the EBIT targets set appropriate goals for our executives to achieve earnings growth and create shareholder value. We further believe that using our annual incentive compensation program to provide incentives to our named executive officers to exceed the EBIT targets and accomplish our strategic objectives is an important tool to implement our Total Compensation Strategy.

Following the completion of each year, the Committee reviews the corporate and business unit operating results achieved against the pre-established EBIT targets approved by the Committee. In addition, as a threshold matter, to ensure that the performance of the individual executives is at the high level expected, senior management reviews with the Committee (or in the case of our CEO, the Committee itself reviews) each executive's individual contributions and personal leadership together with their performance on corporate or business unit strategic objectives, business drivers, business development and other initiatives as applicable. If based on this review, the executive's performance did not meet expectations, the Committee may use its discretion to deny or adjust downward the executive's annual incentive compensation award.

Under our 2014 annual incentive program, the pre-established performance tiers ranged from 97% up to 106.5% of the EBIT target for the corporation and each business unit, with corresponding payout levels ranging, respectively, from 25% of the target award opportunity up to a maximum of 150% of the target award opportunity. Payout level is interpolated where performance is achieved between the specified performance tiers subject to the 150% maximum payout. Performance achievement below 97% of the adjusted EBIT target for the corporation or a business unit results in no payout with respect to any portion of the award based on such corporate or specific business unit's performance.

For 2014, the corporate EBIT target was $980.4 million and actual adjusted corporate EBIT was $1.03 billion or 105.2% of the target. Annual incentive compensation paid to Mr. Holmes, Mr. Conforti and Mr. Anderson was weighted 100% on the corporate results. The Committee reviewed the corporate results together with Mr. Holmes' individual performance and determined that he receive 2014 annual incentive compensation at 142% of target. Management reviewed the corporate results

together with Mr. Conforti's individual performance and recommended to the Committee that he receive 2014 annual incentive compensation at 142% of target. Management reviewed the corporate results together with Mr. Anderson's individual performance and recommended to the Committee that he receive 2014 annual incentive compensation at 142% of target.

For 2014, the Wyndham Hotel Group (WHG) EBIT target was $266.6 million and actual WHG adjusted EBIT was $284.3 million or 106.6% of the target. The Wyndham Exchange & Rentals (WER) EBIT target was $278.7 million and actual WER adjusted EBIT was $283.4 million or 101.7% of the target. Annual incentive compensation paid to Mr. Ballotti was weighted 25% on the corporate results, 56.25% on WHG results and 18.75% on WER results. Management reviewed the WHG, WER and corporate results together with Mr. Ballotti's individual performance and recommended to the Committee that he receive 2014 annual incentive compensation at 140% of target.

For 2014, the Wyndham Vacation Ownership (WVO) EBIT target was $590.3 million and actual WVO adjusted EBIT was $624.4 million or 105.8% of the target. Annual incentive compensation paid to Mr. Hanning was weighted 25% on the corporate results and 75% on the WVO results. Management reviewed the WVO and corporate results together with Mr. Hanning's individual performance and recommended to the Committee that he receive 2014 annual incentive compensation at 148% of target.

The Non-Equity Incentive Plan column of the Summary Compensation Table below lists the annual incentive compensation we paid our named executive officers for 2014.

Consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy, we provide our named executive officers with long-term incentive compensation to create incentives to achieve share price appreciation and encourage retention. Accordingly, 2014 long-term incentive compensation for our named executive officers focused on aligning their interests with those of shareholders, achieving competitiveness with the external market, rewarding key talent contributions and retention. Long-term incentive compensation is granted under our 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan. Our compensation consultant and the Committee periodically review our plan design to confirm its consistency with our peers with respect to items such as long-term incentive mix prevalence and vesting provisions. Additionally, due to the large portion of our named executive officers' total target compensation that is attributable to long-term incentive compensation, our compensation consultant and the Committee reviewed long-term incentive amounts exclusive of our long-term incentive plan (LTIP) modifier awards against peer data and confirmed general consistency with our Total Compensation Strategy.

Management annually recommends to the Committee an aggregate budget available for long-term incentive compensation. For 2014, the aggregate budget was allocated based on the relative number of eligible executives in corporate services and the business units. Long-term incentive compensation is then recommended by management (other than for our CEO, which is determined by the Committee) and granted by the Committee to the named executive officers based on individual performance review, tenure, scope of responsibility and future potential. Elements of individual performance considered by the Committee in such review include corporate or business unit results of operations, achievement of strategic objectives and leadership characteristics.

Based on these factors, the Committee determined our CEO's 2014 annual long-term incentive award to be in the form of 25% SSARs and 75% RSUs plus an LTIP modifier in the form of PVRSUs. For our other named executive officers, annual long-term incentive awards were granted in the form of RSUs plus an LTIP modifier in the form of PVRSUs. As discussed below, PVRSUs are viewed as a modifier of the annual long-term incentive awards because premium performance in excess of target must be achieved in order for any portion of the PVRSUs to be earned.

A SSAR represents the right to receive a number of shares of common stock equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the SSAR and provides the executive incentive to drive long-term share price appreciation.

A RSU represents the right to receive a share of our common stock on a set vesting date subject to continued employment and provides the executive incentive to drive share price appreciation while encouraging retention.

A PVRSU represents the right to receive a share of our common stock on a set vesting date subject to achievement of pre-established earnings per share performance goals and continued employment and provides the executive incentive to drive earnings growth and share price appreciation while encouraging retention.

The performance goals for our PVRSU awards are set by the Committee at levels that exceed our three-year projected target earnings per share established at the time of grant of the PVRSU award. Target earnings per share represents a level of earnings per share consistent with our projected operating budgets. Because PVRSU awards vest only if actual earnings per share, as adjusted, exceeds target earnings per share, the probable outcome with respect to these awards at the time of grant is that earnings per share in excess of target earnings per share will not be achieved and no PVRSUs will be earned. The Committee believes that the PVRSU performance goals are consistent with the Committee's intention of making the vesting of these awards contingent upon achieving exceptional growth in earnings per share that strongly benefits shareholders.

Vesting of PVRSUs is contingent upon achievement of the levels of performance specified below and where performance is achieved between these specified performance tiers the number of vested PVRSUs is interpolated. No shares vest unless our cumulative earnings per share performance exceeds 100% of target earnings per share at the end of the three-year performance period.


Performance Achievement as % of Cumulative EPS Target		Level of Vesting as % of Total PVRSUs
100%		0% of PVRSUs
102%		25% of PVRSUs
104%		50% of PVRSUs
106%		75% of PVRSUs
108%		100% of PVRSUs (maximum)

The total cost of PVRSUs is fully funded by achievement of the earnings per share performance goals, which represent premium levels of earnings growth. The earnings per share results may be adjusted to reflect potential unusual or extraordinary events and items such as restructuring costs and impairments specified at the outset of the performance period. Subject to achievement of performance tiers, vesting occurs on the third anniversary of the grant date or later upon certification of results by the Committee.

Consistent with the objectives described above, in February 2014, the Committee granted SSARs, RSUs and PVRSUs to Mr. Holmes and RSUs and PVRSUs to each of our other named executive officers in the amounts listed in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below.

In 2012, PVRSU awards were granted to our named executive officers covering a three-year performance period including years 2012, 2013 and 2014. In February 2015, these PVRSU awards vested at the maximum level due to earnings per share growth that exceeded 108% of the three-year cumulative earnings per share target.

The 2014 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table provides additional information regarding the results of our 2012 PVRSU awards and performance through 2014 year end with respect to outstanding PVRSU awards granted in 2013 and 2014.

We provide our named executive officers with perquisites that management and the Committee believe are reasonable, competitive and consistent with our Total Compensation Strategy. Management and the Committee believe that our perquisites help us to retain highly talented managers and allow them to operate more effectively.

In February 2014, management provided the Committee with and the Committee reviewed a market assessment of competitive perquisite practices utilizing widely available market data publications from Aon Hewitt and other compensation consultants. Based on this information, the Committee found our 2014 executive perquisites to be consistent with market practices.

In February 2014, the Committee approved perquisites for the named executive officers including a leased automobile and financial planning services. For certain perquisites the executive receives a tax gross-up payment, which means the executive receives additional compensation to reimburse them for the amount of taxes owed on the compensation imputed for the perquisite. However, in February 2015, Mr. Holmes waived his entitlement to any future tax gross-up payments on perquisites. As permitted under his employment agreement, for 2014 we provided Mr. Holmes with personal use of company aircraft for which we imputed income without a tax gross-up. The All Other Compensation Table below lists compensation attributable to perquisites provided to the named executive officers for 2014.

Officer Deferred Compensation Plan. Our nonqualified officer deferred compensation plan permits named executive officers to defer base salary and annual incentive compensation. We match executive contributions to the plan up to 6% of base salary and annual incentive compensation. The executive makes an irrevocable deferral election prior to the beginning of the calendar year. The executive may elect a single lump-sum payment of his or her account or may elect payments in annual installments up to ten years. The participant's entire account balance is 100% vested. The contributions to our officer deferred compensation plan applicable to our named executive officers are listed below in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table.

401(k) Plan. We provide all employees, including our named executive officers, with a 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan permits named executive officers to defer base salary. We provide named executive officers and other participants a company match of base salary contributed up to 6% of base salary. The company match is 100% vested.

Savings Restoration Plan. We make available to our named executive officers a savings restoration plan, which allows executives to defer compensation in excess of the amounts permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code), under our 401(k) plan, but there are no matching contributions for these deferrals. None of our named executive officers have a balance under our Savings Restoration Plan.

The employment agreements of our named executive officers provide for payments as a percentage of base salary and annual incentive compensation as well as accelerated vesting of specified long-term incentive grants, and in the case of PVRSUs, vesting based on performance during a specified period, if the executive's employment is terminated without cause or for a constructive discharge. These payments and terms are discussed below under Agreements with Named Executive Officers and Potential Payments on Termination or Change-in-Control.

The severance terms for the named executive officers were established in connection with their employment agreements consistent with peer group market practices and data provided by our compensation consultant. We believe these arrangements are necessary to attract and retain our executives and ensure the continuity of management. The primary focus of the severance terms is generally on the termination of employment and thus the value of these terms arises only in the context of imminent termination. The severance terms do not enhance an executive's current income and therefore are independent of the peer group data review.

In the event of a change-in-control of Wyndham Worldwide, the named executive officers receive payments only if their employment is terminated without cause or for constructive discharge following the change-in-control. Our named executive officers are not entitled to any excise tax gross-up in connection with their change-in-control arrangements. Long-term incentive compensation grants made to all eligible employees, including the named executive officers, fully vest on a change-in-control. The payments and terms of our named executive officers' change-in-control arrangements are discussed below under Agreements with Named Executive Officers and Potential Payments on Termination or Change-in-Control.

The change-in-control terms for the named executive officers were established in connection with their employment agreements consistent with peer group market practices and data provided by our compensation consultant. Since a potential change-in-control transaction generally results in increased shareholder value, the Committee believes that it is important to provide incentives to motivate the named executive officers to pursue and complete a potential transaction should it arise and ensure retention. Like the severance arrangements, the value of the change-in-control arrangements arises only in the context of an imminent change-in-control. The terms do not enhance the named executive officers' current income and therefore are independent of the annual peer group data review.

Our Executive Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines are intended to align further the financial interests of executive officers with the interests of shareholders. The guidelines require our named executive officers to own our common stock with a market value at least equal to the following multiples: CEO: 4 times base salary and Business Unit CEO and our CFO: 2 times base salary. Stock ownership meeting the guidelines includes common stock and RSUs but excludes PVRSUs. As of December 31, 2014, all of the named executive officers exceeded these stock ownership requirements.

Our insider trading policy contains restrictions on transactions in our securities by our Directors, executive officers and other employees who have regular access to material nonpublic information in the normal course of their duties. Under this policy, these parties are prohibited from entering into derivative transactions, including put or call options, and from engaging in short sales or equity swaps with respect to our securities. In addition, all transactions in our securities by these persons must be pre-cleared by our securities compliance personnel.

The Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this proxy statement. We recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement for filing with the SEC.

(a): Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of equity awards computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (ASC 718). A discussion of the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of such awards may be found in Note 19 to our 2014 audited financial statements of our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2015.
: No grant date fair value is attributable to PVRSU awards under ASC 718 due to the fact that no amount will be earned under these awards at target performance. Performance results must exceed 100% of target performance in order for any PVRSUs to be earned and must meet 108% of target performance in order for the maximum number of PVRSUs to be earned. The grant date fair value of PVRSU awards granted in 2014 assuming maximum achievement of performance goals is as follows: Mr. Holmes, $5,437,500; Mr. Ballotti, $1,300,000; Mr. Hanning, $1,349,900; Mr. Conforti, $1,300,000; and Mr. Anderson, $800,000.
: The actual value realized by each individual with respect to PVRSU awards will depend on the number of shares earned based on our actual performance over the cumulative three-year performance period measured against the performance goals established at the time of grant. The Outstanding Equity Awards at 2014 Fiscal Year-End Table below provides information on PVRSU awards made in 2012, 2013 and 2014 based on performance through December 31, 2014.
(b): For 2014, represents annual incentive compensation for 2014 paid in 2015. For 2013, represents annual incentive compensation for 2013 paid in 2014. For 2012, represents annual incentive compensation for 2012 paid in 2013.
(c): See All Other Compensation Table below for a description of compensation included in this column.
(d): Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the aggregate incremental cost to Wyndham Worldwide of personal aircraft use in lieu of rates used for imputing taxable income to an executive for personal aircraft use. For 2012, the amount reported for Mr. Holmes reflects an increase of $43,126 in total compensation as a result of the adjustment.

The All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table above includes the following for 2014.

(a): Represents the potential range of PVRSUs that may be earned under our 2014 long-term incentive program for above target performance. Target performance represents a level of earnings per share performance consistent with our projected operating budgets and no shares will be earned pursuant to these awards unless our earnings per share performance exceeds target performance at the end of the cumulative three-year performance period. Vesting of the PVRSUs is contingent upon achievement of premium levels of adjusted earnings per share performance over a cumulative three-year period as follows: 100% of PVRSUs (maximum) will vest if premium performance of 108% of target performance is achieved, 75% will vest if premium performance of 106% of target performance is achieved, 50% will vest if premium performance of 104% of target performance is achieved, 25% will vest if premium performance of 102% of target performance is achieved and 0% will vest if performance is at or below 100% of target performance. Where premium performance is achieved between the specified performance tiers the number of vested PVRSUs is interpolated.
: The actual number of PVRSUs earned pursuant to these awards will be determined and paid following the completion of the three-year performance period based on our actual performance against the performance goal established at the time of grant as adjusted. PVRSUs, if earned, convert to our common stock on a one-for-one basis.
(b): Grant of RSUs, which vest ratably over a period of four years on each anniversary of February 27, 2014.
(c): Grant of SSARs, which vest ratably over a period of four years on each anniversary of February 27, 2014. Number of SSARs calculated by dividing the grant date fair value by the fair value of such rights on the date of grant as determined using the Black-Scholes formula. A discussion of the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of such rights may be found in Note 19 to our 2014 audited financial statements of our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2015.
(d): Represents potential threshold, target and maximum annual incentive compensation for 2014. Amounts actually paid for 2014 are reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table above.

Under our 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan, all grants set forth in the table fully vest on a change-in-control. Dividends paid on our common stock are credited for unvested RSUs and are paid in cash on vesting. Dividends credited with respect to unvested PVRSUs are paid in cash on vesting only to the extent the underlying shares are earned based on achievement of premium performance targets.

The following table summarizes the number of securities underlying outstanding plan awards for the named executive officers as of December 31, 2014.
